That is the big hazard with a hike through Paria Canyon on the Utah – Arizona border.
Just organizing for Paria, I’m going end of October as there is a lower risk of flash flood.
Yikes!
I just learned that Utah suffered a massive rain storm already this season. Two hikers survived flooding on the Escalante river to post a fantastic trip report and photos.
